I pray that your Christmas was what you expected it to be or even better. Romans 7:18 says: “For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” For me when I think of the new year coming I sometimes think about resolu- tions. I don’t anymore because I have never kept them. Nearly every top ten list in- cludes the following resolutions: getting in shape, losing weight, or quitting smoking. Unfortunately, most of these resolutions don’t last. Gyms all across America will see a spike in new memberships. For the first month you won’t be able to find parking spots at the gyms, but just wait soon there will be plenty of parking spots. We can do the same thing as we follow Jesus. We can make big promises about the great things we plan to do for Him. We can try to impress Him with our perfor- mance. In the process we can forget two important facts: 1. God’s love for us is dependent on His grace and not our performance. Scripture makes this very clear in Romans 5:8 - God demonstrates His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God’s love for us was settled by Je- sus’ sacrifice on the cross. 2. This life is not about what we can do for God, but what He can do in and through us. God does not need us (see Acts 17:25), but He still desires to use imperfect in- struments like us to accomplish His God-sized purposes. As we enter the new year, the question we do not need to be asking is what can I do for God? The better question is this: What does God desire to accomplish in and through me this year? De Colores!!

Can’t believe that 2014 is here at last. I pray that your Christmas
was what you expected it to be or even better.
Romans 7:18 says: “For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in
my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.”
For me when I think of the new year coming I sometimes think about resolu-
tions. I don’t anymore because I have never kept them. Nearly every top ten list in-
cludes the following resolutions: getting in shape, losing weight, or quitting smoking.
Unfortunately, most of these resolutions don’t last. Gyms all across America will see a
spike in new memberships. For the first month you won’t be able to find parking
spots at the gyms, but just wait soon there will be plenty of parking spots.
We can do the same thing as we follow Jesus. We can make big promises about
the great things we plan to do for Him. We can try to impress Him with our perfor-
mance. In the process we can forget two important facts:
1. God’s love for us is dependent on His grace and not our performance. Scripture
makes this very clear in Romans 5:8 - God demonstrates His love for us in that
while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God’s love for us was settled by Je-
sus’ sacrifice on the cross.
2. This life is not about what we can do for God, but what He can do in and through
us. God does not need us (see Acts 17:25), but He still desires to use imperfect in-
struments like us to accomplish His God-sized purposes.
As we enter the new year, the question we do not need to be asking is what
can I do for God? The better question is this: What does God desire to accomplish
in and through me this year?
De Colores!!
